Text | [reporting the meeting of the joint rules committee 11/12] Rule 48, Sec. 6, pertaining to base-running, was modified to allow a man to overstep the three-foot limit in running to first base on a fair hit. The previous ruling confined him to the space between the two lines, which ran parallel half way between the plate and first base. The object of the change is to allow the runner a good, wide swing in running on a long hit. The advantage will be readily understood. |
